How small do you dare go?

I adore miniatures but have never tried them. I have done a few tiny PP blocks of cats but I don't have pictures of them. Need to dig them out. I think they finished at around 3".
Peggi your feathered Star is fabulous. Thank you for posting. Suesew that present block is out of this world. The result was so worth all your efforts.

Like a couple others, I will use 3/4 to finish at 1/4 inch. PP allows for very accurate piecing, but I'm dyslexic enough that I get so confused. Lovely little quilts shared. And my avatar is a Log Cabin made with 3/4" strips.

Like Dog House Mum I've sewn rows that were cut 3/4" and ended 1/4 in a bargello. Doubt I could work that small as I have trouble enough with 2.5" these days. Had cataracts removed a couple of years back and just need glasses to read and see up close, but if I don't hold the work at the right distance it's blurry. I hope to get some new one this years. I'm forever putting them down and losing them even though I have 3 pair.

I've made several miniatures, I love them. Some of my favorites: 2 log cabins, one was square and the other diamond, both consisted of logs that were 1/4" wide. I currently am working on a New York Beauty block variation that finishes at 2".
This basket quilt is 4".

But I think my favorite is this Feathered Star, which finished at 5".
